I have bought a few of these bottles over the years but the last 2 I bought the nozzle became blocked after only a few uses. How do you unclog it?

I haven't had to use mine too many times yet as the spray seems to last quite awhile before having to respray it. I have used it a few times already and haven't had mine clogged up yet. Maybe it's the humidity where you live? I would imagine warm water should unclog the nozzle

After each use hold the can upside down and depress the nozzle. This will blow pure air through the nozzle and clean out any remaining product.

All I can think of is that when you first buy the bottles, there's a storage sealer cap in place. Unscrew the top and there should be a small white disc to remove.

Hi - Sorry you're having trouble. This thing is adorable! But the nozzle on our jar is the pits. My husband was trying to pour lemonade for guests and gave up - and used a soup scoop to get the liquid out of the top of it. A real disappointment. I'm not looking at mine (it's in a box high up on a shelf) - but - it seems to me if you can figure out how to unscrew the nozzle, you could then replace the washer. I'm sure you can find the correct size of washer in a hardware store. While you're at it, you might consider getting a completely new nozzle set up. I think I need to do the same thing. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good luck!

I used the nozzle with single hole in spray tip (red). Unscrew black cap and remove clear plastic aerator from under red tip. This aerator reduces stream and produces mist.

One thing I remember happening is, if the black collar around the red pump handle is loose, you can accidentally remove the pump handle/piston without removing the black cylinder the piston goes into. If that happens, you won't be able to fill the tank, as it remains blocked by the black cylinder. If you have removed the handle correctly, you should have a clear view right down into the tank with nothing in the way to stop water from going in. If the opening appears blocked by black plastic, re-insert the pump handle and tighten the black plastic collar on the pump handle onto threads at the top of the black plastic cylinder. At that point, when you unscrew the handle assembly from the tank, the cylinder should come out with the handle, leaving the opening unblocked. If I recall correctly, the same thing happened to me the first time I went to use it, as they shipped it with the collar loose. Once I tightened it firmly, it never happened again. Pretty nice sprayer.

Keep the top on when not in use, and place a paperclip(Opened up to fit in)inside the hole. When you go to use it again, when you pull out the paperclip it will flow again. Good Luck!

If you remove the plastic piece that sits right at the top of the bottle... Flush with the top..looks like a straw when you pull out the entire piece...using the large plastic key that comes with the ISI..then you will be able to empty excess water that gets trapped. Then, whenever you make a new bottle of water, be extra careful to screw the dispenser top on evenly and tightly. These two things are important to the process. If this doesn't help, I would guess the top is not screwing on evenly since the threads are stripped. Good luck.

There is a little latch underneath the handle that might be flipped up instead of down preventing you from using the spray. Also on the top of the nozzel is a screw thing that controls the flow. That might also be your problem. You will have to play with it.

I use a bottle brush or you can open the filter at top and use air spray it works well. I take it outside if I use the air spray.

First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using. Remove the nozzle and replace the cap. Leaving on the nozzle will cause the whole tube to dry out.I find that the best thing for keeping Goop is to put Vaseline on the threads of the tube. That both makes a better seal with the cap, to keep it from drying out, as well as making it much easier to get the cap back off when you want to use it again.As for the nozzle, it's often a one-use piece. But you can get multiple uses if you place a large screw into the still wet Goop in the nozzle. Put the screw in from the large end, not the pointy end. Then you can "usually" pull out the plug of dried goop from the nozzle using pliers on the screw. First of all, don't leave the nozzle attached to the tube after using.

Try turning off the water supply and emptying the water pressure in the hose by engaging the nozzle. Once that is done, pull hose almost completely out of the housing. Then give hose a short pull to start the retraction and do not let it retract the hose at full speed. Guide it slowly back into the housing.

Try running a tank of vinegar through it. I always use distilled water. If it's over a year old might be time for a new one.

Did you unscrew the cap and make sure the sealer is removed from the bottle and is there a hole on the tip of the nozzle?

I have the same problem...I have used the machine twice, tried a third time. First time it worked great! Second time I had to unclip the little spray nozzles at the bottom and un-clog them with a paper clip. Third time I was unsuccessful in getting the machine to spray (spend hours looking stuff up on the internet and trying different solutions, nothing worked). It was useless. VERY frustrating.

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

I use a clean spray bottle that had a spray cleaner in it. Make sure it's clean.
